Using Compensation in Workflows 

The Windows Workflow Foundation compensation model for completed transactions is the process of handling any business exceptions that occur in a workflow and logically undoing completed transactions.

Windows Workflow Foundation compensation can be:

• Implicit by default, when the exception handler is not specified or a specific exception is not handled.

• Explicit, when the CompensateActivity activity is used. For more information, see Using the CompensateActivity Activity.
